The Universal K3 Surface of Genus 14 via Cubic Fourfolds
نویسنده
چکیده
Using Hassett’s isomorphism between the Noether-Lefschetz moduli space C26 of special cubic fourfolds X ⊂ P of discriminant 26 and the moduli space F14 of polarized K3 surfaces of genus 14, we use the family of 3-nodal scrolls of degree seven in X to show that the universal K3 surface over F14 is rational.

Variety of Power Sums and Divisors in the Moduli Space of Cubic Fourfolds
We show that a cubic fourfold F that is apolar to a Veronese surface has the property that its variety of power sums V SP (F, 10) is singular along a K3 surface of genus 20 which is the variety of power sums of a sextic curve. This relates constructions of Mukai and Iliev and Ranestad. We also prove that these cubics form a divisor in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds and that this divisor is...
متن کاملTranscendental Obstructions to Weak Approximation on General K3 Surfaces
We construct an explicit K3 surface over the field of rational numbers that has geometric Picard rank one, and for which there is a transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. To do so, we exploit the relationship between polarized K3 surfaces endowed with particular kinds of Brauer classes and cubic fourfolds.
متن کاملKodaira Dimension of Moduli of Special Cubic Fourfolds
A special cubic fourfold is a smooth hypersurface of degree three and dimension four that contains a surface not homologous to a complete intersection. Special cubic fourfolds give rise to a countable family of Noether-Lefschetz divisors Cd in the moduli space C of smooth cubic fourfolds. These divisors are irreducible 19-dimensional varieties birational to certain orthogonal modular varieties....
متن کاملThe Tate Conjecture for Powers of Ordinary Cubic Fourfolds over Finite Fields
Recently N. Levin proved the Tate conjecture for ordinary cubic fourfolds over finite fields. In this paper we prove the Tate conjecture for selfproducts of ordinary cubic fourfolds. Our proof is based on properties of so called polynomials of K3 type introduced by the author about a dozen years ago.
متن کاملNef cycles on some hyperkähler fourfolds
We study the cones of surfaces on varieties of lines on cubic fourfolds and Hilbert schemes of points on K3 surfaces. From this we obtain new examples of nef cycles which fail to be pseudoeffective.
